I'd really rather not watch Threads at all.

Instead I'm probably going to have a pint with my friends and maybe run a one shot horror game.

I've also booked off most of the first bit of November so if I need to start scavenging the blasted wastes at least I won't need to be in work.

I wonder if it's starting to dawn on people that now Boris is in charge of the Tories, the choice really is between Corbyn and No Deal.

He's positioned himself so well, it's genuinely admirable.

It would be genuinely admirable if we didn't know that the fuckers will choose No Deal.

Threads massively overestimated the effects of nuclear winter.

A Loach version where everything's back to normal within a year except the Tories/blairites/dickhead older stepbrothers have turned everything fash would be much more realistic.

Yea but would there still be that scene with the creepy old lady mouthing along to A CATS SKELETON on the creaky old vhs tape with the mutant kids staring slack jawed in front of the tv?

That was probably the best scene in the movie.

I think they could’ve used Loach’s talent to at least film a better attack scene because wow it looks terrible.

Late last month, 130 ship builders, steel workers, welders, and riveters seized control of the storied Belfast shipyard that built the Titanic in 1909. More than two weeks later, they're still there, and say they won't be leaving until the docks are nationalized and are used to produce renewable energy infrastructure.

Threads did an excellent job of the horror of the 'day of', but - and I know I might get some flak for this because of the received wisdom - The Day After seemed to me to do a better, more subtle, more believable job of the horrors of, well, the 'day after'.

The idea that there's still a decent number of survivors who are still in a position to be thinking about farming, still thinking about tomorrow, but the ground is just... too poisoned. That's honestly far more effective for me than 'martial law is poo poo and mutant babies'.

Realtalk the idea of telling the people of Belfast that they've got to let Harland and Wolff shut down is the wildest and most dangerous thing ever done. I'm shocked it hasn't produced an alliance between the 'ra and UVF to use whatever means necessary to save it. If Dublin put something out in the morning saying "We'd nationalize it and run it indefinitely" the island would be reunited before you could finish your Ulster fry for breakfast.

Operation Chaos: Whitehall’s secret no‑deal Brexit plan leaked
The Sunday Times obtains the government’s classified ‘Yellowhammer’ report in full

Britain faces shortages of fuel, food and medicine, a three-month meltdown at its ports, a hard border with Ireland and rising costs in social care in the event of a no-deal Brexit, according to an unprecedented leak of government documents that lay bare the gaps in contingency planning.

The documents, which set out the most likely aftershocks of a no-deal Brexit rather than worst-case scenarios, have emerged as the UK looks increasingly likely to crash out of the EU without a deal.

Compiled this month by the Cabinet Office under the codename Operation Yellowhammer, the dossier offers a rare glimpse into the covert planning being carried out by the government to avert a catastrophic collapse in the nation’s infrastructure.

Also from the Mirror, the Queen's mad about the quality of governance in this country, for some reason. Reports say she's "proper steaming", "she keeps doing lines and trying to start a business"
